	Linguistic Rights - Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		This declaration is the result of efforts of a number of organizations (the International PEN Club's Translations and Linguistic Rights Committee and the Escarré International Centre for Ethnic Minorities and Nations) which entrusted its preparation to a committee of fifty experts.
		This Declaration considers that a language cannot be considered specific to a territory merely on the grounds that it is the official language of the state or has been traditionally used within the territory for administrative purposes or for certain cultural activities.
		All language communities have the right to decide to what extent their language is to be present, as a vehicular language and as an object of study, at all levels of education within their territory: preschool, primary, secondary, technical and vocational, university, and adult education.

		Article 5 This Declaration is based on the principle that the rights of all language communities are equal and independent of the legal or political status of their languages as official, regional or minority languages.
		Article 6 This Declaration considers that a language cannot be considered proper to a territory merely on the grounds that it is the official language of the state or has been traditionally used within the territory for administrative purposes or for certain cultural activities.
		Article 24 All language communities have the right to decide to what extent their language is to be present, as a vehicular language and as an object of study, at all levels of education within their territory: preschool, primary, secondary, technical and vocational, university, and adult education.

	World congress on language policies
		In the draft Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights of 1996, the issue of colonisation is seen as relevant to language polices.
		universal principles of linguistic rights and language polices must be formulated so as to ensure that in former colonialist cases there is not a perpetuation of the previous hierarchical language situation in either public life or the private economic sphere.
		While the draft Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights refers to the need to consider the effects of former colonialism upon smaller languages, there has been inadequate consideration of how language policy should proceed if it is truly to result in decolonisation.

	DECLARATION OF LINGUISTIC RIGHTS. Reaging guide. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The definition of equitable linguistic rights cannot be dependent on the political or administrative status of languages or on irrelevant or insufficiently objective criteria such as their level of codification or number of speakers.
		Consequently, the Declaration focuses on the rights of language communities which are historically established in their own territory with a view to defining a gradation, applicable to each case, of the rights of language groups with different degrees of historicity and self-identification and those of individual living outside their community of origin.
		For this reason the Declaration, while stressing the inescapable responsibility of the public authorities, focuses on rights and not on obligations or prohibitions, and calls for solutions appropriate to each case to be sought on the basis of democratic consensus.

		A Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights was drawn up at a meeting of institutions and NGOs which took place in Barcelona, Spain, 6-9 June 1996.
		Thus the context is the broad one of universal human rights, national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, and the rights of indigenous peoples.
		The Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights (UDLR) is the first fully developed claim to be able to exercise the essential characteristic that distinguishes human beings: freedom of speech in the language of our choosing.

	State of Indigenous Languages in Australia - 2001: 6. Keeping Languages Strong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights first proposed in Barcelona in 1996, is gaining support and some version of it may be passed as policy before too long by the United Nations.
		Other articles of the Declaration spell out a number of other rights of language communities such as use by government departments, courts of justice and other official bodies of their language; an education system ensuring the transmission of their language and cultural heritage; preservation of personal names and place names.
		The lack of Indigenous participation in the Northern Territory decision breaches the obligation of self-determination and is a further example of undermining the control of Indigenous people over their own lives by denying the choice of mode of education for their children and by not supporting the viability of remaining languages.

	Terralingua -- statement on Item 5 "Indigenous Peoples: Education and Language"
		Indigenous languages are carriers of most of the world's linguistic diversity and of a wealth of knowledge, beliefs and practices continuously developed over hundreds or even thousands of years.
		In most cases, linguistic assimilation has been a key tool for disempowerment of Indigenous Peoples and for their cultural and economic assimilation into so-called "nation-states", alienating Indigenous Peoples from their cultures and lands, and depriving them of their own identities, distinctiveness and self-definition.
		The Draft Universal Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has a good coverage of linguistic human rights, including in education (particularly Articles 14, 15, 16 and 17), and is the best existing framework for the integrated protection of linguistic, cultural, land and resource rights for Indigenous Peoples.

		--This right is most certainly denied, as the Singaporean government claims that English material and attention is sufficient for speakers of Singlish.
		Not only do they deny the rights of Singlish monolinguals (as well as Singlish polylinguals, and Singlish polylinguals in unrecognised sinitic languages), but the rights of speakers of non-Mandarin sinitic languages are denied as well.
		The Singaporean government does not blatantly deny the right of Singlish speakers to use their language for communication in informal situations, but use is limited beyond informal situations.

		Others appeal to political efficacy or old-fashioned bigotry, asserting that endangerment is proof of a language's "inferiority" (or the "superiority" of competitors.) But as linguist Michael Krauss points out, the benefits of preserving and promoting languages far outweigh the minor inconveniences that such policies imply.
		As to the position that language succession is natural, today's spectacular, unheard-of rate of extinction suggests that markedly unnatural mechanisms are afoot.
		The struggle remains mostly a local one, undertaken by individual bands and sympathetic universities.

		As announced in the last Iatiku, the International PEN Club's working committee on Translation and Linguistic Rights held a World Conference of Linguistic Rights, where the final draft of a Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights was presented.
		The other two groups have fewer rights, and the right which in my view is the most important formal right for the maintenance of languages and intergenerational transmission, the right to mother tongue medium education at least at primary level, is not there at all for LINGUISTIC GROUPS and EVERYBODY.
		I have a lengthy analysis of some aspects of it, in comparison with other human rights instruments, in the opening plenary I gave at the international conference on language rights in Hong Kong 22-24 June.

		Another major aspect of the Translation and Linguistic Rights Committee’s work has been to assist in the preparation of a Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights, which was initiated by the Catalan PEN Centre.
		Today, with the revolution in technology and the ease of world-wide communication, many languages are in danger, and there is a prospect that most of the world’s languages are on course for extinction in the name of the efficacy, the progress, the internationalization of culture and civilization.
		There are declarations and rules to promote and protect certain languages, but although urgently needed there is no declaration and no legislative body referring to all the languages or to universal linguistic rights.

		However, linguistic identity is complex in that one may have more than one for instance, national language and ethnic community language.
		Cultural identity, like linguistic identity tells who we are as individuals and what makes us different from others.
		It is “'socially constructed' and requires continuous negotiation among the individual, the community, and the society at large.” (Andres Torres) Therefore, education plays a crucial role in the formation and dynamic development of one's identities by means of transferring cultural heritage.
